"City leaders, why is your city so quiet?" the clone asked.

"Ah, just call me Baixiong. That's because it's our city's birthday." The man in the white coat said with a smile: "It's the day when our White City was built. On this day every year, the residents of the inner city

Everyone must stay at home and not go out."

"It's such a ceremony. I thought since it's a celebration, they should hold some activities or something." The clone said with some surprise: "It's so quiet, so why can we still walk on the street?"

"Outsiders... are different." Bai Xiong's lips curled up strangely, and then he quickly changed the topic: "Next, what we are going to see is Baicheng's special landscape, the Statue of the Goddess..."

Su Mingan checked the lines on the map bit by bit. When he saw the "Goddess Statue", he found that the stone sculpture standing in the square looked very much like the mechanical woman in the outer city - except that hers

The arms are normal, not like the forelimbs of a mantis.

"That was the leader who built this city at the beginning. She was great and just, and made our life here extremely beautiful. We admired and respected her... until she passed away." Bai Xiong's expression looked extremely addicted,

It was like seeing a long-lost lover.

Su Mingan noticed that when the man turned his head, his movements were slightly stiff.

None of them mentioned the rules of this city, and they vaguely felt something - if they mentioned this matter in front of Bai Xiong, it might cause unexpected consequences.

Finally, the trip was over, and Bai Xiong led four people to a hotel-like place.

"You can stay here. Your names will be on the house numbers... Please be careful not to live in the wrong place." The man smiled and said, "If you want to spend a good time with the lover in your heart, please prepare carefully.

Good content for dating her..."

Finally, we come to the point related to the mission.

"Is the "Bride" player also around here?" Noel asked.

"Yes, please don't leave your respective rooms and wait for the surprise... Maybe later, they will knock on your door..." The man spoke in a very long tone with an ambiguous arc. He was satisfied.

Looking at several players, he pulled the resisting little girl Siyi over, then turned around and waved——

"I will take this girl who is about to be transformed into a master. Dear travelers, please wait patiently for the lovers you meet to knock on your door... If we can win their hearts, please don't worry, we will not

No one will stop me. I wish you a happy and perfect night——"

Blood stains suddenly appeared in the middle of the white clothes, splashing as high as the ceiling.

"Pull-!"

The man's originally smiling expression froze, and then, he was stabbed again in the neck, his head flew up, and blood exploded everywhere like fireworks.

However, unlike the death of a normal person, several mechanical parts also fell out, and his body fell to the ground, making a "crackling" sound of steel.

Noel and Qin Ze looked at the black-clothed NPC who suddenly took out a knife in shock, wondering why he suddenly killed him.

Su Mingan retracted his weapon, stepped forward, and looked directly at the man's body. He saw green liquid and many scattered mechanical parts. It was obvious that this was a life that combined machinery and the human body.

[You killed Shiro (the bionic man), Exp+300]

[Obtain special clues·Bionic man]

[Bionic Man: You have discovered the true identity of the city manager, but this may come at a considerable price - I regret to inform you that you have destroyed a peaceful route leading to perfect clearance]

[Perfect clearance·Peace route has failed, forced to enter perfect clearance·Force route]

"I'm sorry, he's so disgusting. I can't stand the rules of this city." Su Mingan straightened up, his hands covered with blood. He glanced at the people behind him who couldn't hide their shocked expressions, and lowered his head: "But don't worry.

, I will be responsible for taking you through customs..."

The clone stepped forward and kicked him as well, but this kick was almost playful and had no intention of venting his anger. He glanced sideways at Su Mingan, then smiled and said to Noel:

"Dear Noel... I must remember that there can only be one perfect clearance in a world. If you are convinced that you are qualified to become a [Lighthouse], then show it to me."

Noel stepped forward without saying a word, and then, the fragile-looking body flew up and kicked the man's body hard, making a clanging sound.

"You're right." He retracted his feet, patted the dust on his legs gracefully, and stared at him with his beautiful eyes like the sea: "We don't need to follow the route he gave us. Facts have proved that,

There is always more than one way to clear a level. I don’t understand what you mean about the lighthouse, but as long as you find out the truth, it will be fine.”

"The consciousness is very high..." Su Mingan pointed to the door of the room next to him: "Then, let's start checking from our own room."

…

The others entered their respective rooms first. Su Mingan opened the door and saw his clone and the little girl Siyi also coming in and started searching.

He walked around his room and didn't find anything special. It was an ordinary layout, except that the cabinets and tables were all made of metal. There was a bouquet of red flowers placed upside down on the bedside table. The flowers were as bright as red.

It looks like blood, but it's just a fake flower.

Suddenly, he found a shiny object in the middle of the fake flower. When he pinched it, he saw that it was a red crystal-like object, like a gem.

[Obtain props and career evolution gems (small)]

[Professional evolution gems (small): one-time props, collect three of them and crush them to upgrade professional core skills once. 】

[Other acquisition channels: In a competitive world, if you kill other players who also have evolution gems, they will drop them. 】

There are ten rooms of this kind, and each player's room may have one.

It will drop when you die, which forces ten players to fight each other.

He put the gems into his backpack and noticed that the barrage on the clone's side was still flashing:

[What’s going on with this dark NPC? Why is he still following me?]

[I haven’t seen any communication with him during Ming’an period...]

[No way, no way, it can’t really be the legendary love at first sight...]

【Love at first sight is a hammer! Yueyue is still watching!】

[However, I really haven’t seen any news about Yueyue...she doesn’t seem to have a live broadcast room...]

[Not just her, it seems that many eliminated players have lost news...]

…

Yueyue's situation really worries Su Mingan, but it's useless to think about it now.

After confirming that there were no clues, he was ready to go out and take a look, first collecting all the gems in the rooms of the dead players.

However, when he walked to the door and was about to put his hand on the doorknob, his extremely high mental power seemed to give him an early warning.

The next moment, the space around him flashed, and his whole body instantly jumped to the corner of the room.

The mechanical door opened automatically and silently, and a man with his arm transformed into a blade appeared at the door. His figure was extremely fast, almost as if he was teleporting. The next moment, the arm blade suddenly scraped over——

Su Ming'an instantly raised the poppy dagger to block it, but it could not completely block the sword light. The dagger was instantly damaged, and the sword light passed across his arm, causing a linear splash of blood.

【HP-167!】

He instantly dodged aside and unleashed a mental attack.

At this time, he finally saw the other person's face - it was Bai Xiong, the man in the white coat who had just been hit by him, the city manager - but this man was obviously dead!

Su Mingan suddenly remembered the system prompt just now.
